FKA twigs has announced the cancellation of her scheduled performances at the 2025 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival and the Axe Ceremonia music festival in Mexico City, due to ongoing visa issues. The British artist initially postponed several North American concerts on her Eusexua Tour last month, citing that her production team failed to submit the necessary visa paperwork in time.
The visa complications have now led her to cancel all her North American tour dates for the remainder of April, including shows in San Francisco, New York, and Toronto. Twigs expressed her disappointment on social media and assured fans she is actively working to reschedule the affected dates. She encouraged ticket holders for headline shows to consult their point of purchase for refund details. This setback comes as a blow to fans, especially since her Coachella appearances would have marked her return to the festival a decade after her debut in 2015

In a disappointing turn of events for fans, British singer-songwriter FKA twigs has announced the cancellation of her scheduled performances at the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, as well as the Axe Ceremonia festival in Mexico City. The cancellations are attributed to ongoing visa issues that have plagued her North American tour plans.
Visa Complications Disrupt Tour Plans
The artist, whose real name is Tahliah Barnett, has faced a series of setbacks related to visa complications. In March, she postponed several North American concerts on her Eusexua Tour, citing that her production team failed to submit the necessary visa paperwork in time. This oversight has now led to the cancellation of all her North American tour dates for the remainder of April, including highly anticipated shows in San Francisco, New York, and Toronto.
Public Statement and Fan Reactions
FKA twigs expressed her disappointment on social media, stating that she is actively working to reschedule the affected dates. She encouraged ticket holders for headline shows to consult their point of purchase for refund details. Fans have expressed frustration over the cancellations, especially in Mexico, where this marks her third cancellation, with the previous one occurring without explanation.
Impact on Coachella and Axe Ceremonia Festivals
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, scheduled for April 11-13 and April 18-20 in Indio, California, is one of the most prominent music festivals globally. FKA twigs’ absence from the lineup is a significant loss for attendees who were eager to see her perform. Similarly, the Axe Ceremonia festival in Mexico City will feel the impact of her withdrawal, disappointing fans who anticipated her performance.
Previous Cancellations and Ongoing Challenges
This is not the first time FKA twigs has faced challenges with her tour schedule. Earlier in March, she canceled performances in Prague and Berlin due to “shipping issues.” These consecutive setbacks have raised concerns about the logistical management of her tours and the efficiency of her production team.
Looking Ahead
Despite these cancellations, FKA twigs still has performances scheduled in Europe and some later U.S. dates in June. Fans remain hopeful that the visa issues will be resolved promptly, allowing the artist to continue her tour without further disruptions. The situation underscores the complexities and challenges artists face when coordinating international tours, particularly concerning visa regulations and logistical planning.
